Howard Adams was a Métis academic, activist, and politician. He was also likely the first of our people to obtain a PhD (in 1966), awarded by the University of California, Berkeley. But Google will lie to you because AI is programmed to ignore the accomplishments of resistors against colonization.
I can only wish for the artistic intuition of my 4 year old son.
Kids know the love that we should have for the things we take for granted.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Vancouver understands the assignment. The subset that matters, at any rate.
Your regular reminder that MCFD social workers in BC are exempt from regulation to protect the government from all accountability for child apprehension genocide against Indigenous victims.
This rage bait headline reads like a trick question. The answer is simple, though. Indigenous rights come before your democratic rights when you live on illegally occupied sovereign Indigenous territories.
Ottawa airport inadvertently playing a game of Spot the White Supremacy.
No offense intended to rescue dogs, but doesn't Skippy look like a rescue dog who hasn't found his forever home?
Highlights of Marilyn Gladu, the latest MP defector to Conservative Carney: - listed as "anti-choice" by the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada; - open to introducing legislation restricting abortion; - opposed a ban on conversion therapy; and - rebuked for spreading vaccine misinformation.
This contains a little bit of everything I find offensive, deplorable, and just plain wrong with the practice of the common law. There is no distillation of truth in this.
The implied racism from CTV on this report is gross, @ctvnewsvancouver.bsky.social. (And why is CTV National afraid to be on Bluesky?) Government and private landowners do this all the time. Why the double standard for First Nations, CTV?
I took my son to Little Canada in Toronto last year. He was SOOO excited about "Little Vancouver" with the Main Street-Science World SkyTrain station, and many other landmarks of Olympic Village, Chinatown, and the DTES. I just received the placement photos for my order of his "Little Me"...
My son is very proud of his latest drawing. The flag of Nunavut.
It stretches credibility that the Government of Canada travel advisory guidance for the USA still advises normal precautions. The page hasn't been updated since the two high profile executions of protesters by ICE. France is listed as more dangerous than the US!
This crap is an immediate block by me. Not going to waste time to determine if it's a joke. The police don't get a pass for their illegitimate violence, even in jest. Never ever. Block @leetwitterrefugee.bsky.social.
Another reminder; eight Vancouver cops participated in killing Chris Amyotte with so-called "non-lethal" rounds in 2022. Part of the rise of fascism is allowing police violence to go unpunished. It is happening in Canada as well.
I photographed these racists promoting ethnic cleansing in Saskatoon today.
These hateful remigrate people advocate to deport people like my wife and son to China, my wife's country of origin. Both are Canadian citizens, and my four year old son was born here. They would forcibly relocate this little Canadian boy to China.
For those who don't know, remigration is a European far-right concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white minority populations. I took this photo today in SASKATOON within hours of the ICE remigration Gestapo executing another person in the US. #CrimesAgainstHumanity
In The Wiz (1978), the Wicked Witch of the East is Evamene (ever mean), the Parks Department Commissioner. Listen to what Black people (and also Indigenous people) say about your institutions. We've been saying these things for whole life times.
Literally one reply earlier, you confronted me as naive for calling out Carney as a liar. Now you pivot to not thinking that yourself? That's bad faith and not much better than lying yourself. Go bother someone else.
